Round1✔ - Ambassadors' Pick - Round2✔ - Longlist✔ - Shortlist✔ ----------- Oct 4, 2025: featured on @Fantasy - Mythology & Folklore ----------- Genre: fantasy, romance, and a teeny tiny bit of action. ----------- Of a Moon, majestic silver and soothing blue, that hung in the sky, breathing life into barrenness and lifting away the darkness that threatened to swallow everything. And a wolf, fur darker than night itself, that would passionately howl at the moon in a holy nocturnal ritual. He yearned to go and reach his beloved sphere of blessed silver rays for it breathed life into his very being and gave meaning to his existence. His howls were a balm to her lonely soul and so, on one spectacular night, the Moon in all her glory descended, gracing her devoted worshipper with her radiant presence. That was how the wolf's search for his otherworldly beloved ended. She'd come to him instead. Indeed, a desperate wish, made from the heart, is always answered, sooner or later. ----------- Warning: mention of violence (wolves, duh) and blood, fluff, extremely gorgeous FL, one hawt ML, and (A LOT OF) sexual tension. *evil laugh* ----------- Note: 1. this is the prequel to Rieka (ONC22) and The Dark Side Of The Moon (ONC23) 2. the story is written from an omniscient point of view. ----------- + If you are reading this on any site other than Wattpad then it is being unlawfully shared.
